85 ae86 GTS Hatch Ontario

Sadly it's time to say good bye. I need a few years to focus on a home build and need this out of the way. Once settled I'll be back but for now I don't need this distraction.

I was so out of touch with the value of these cars and after researching online and hearing from a few peeps just how little you get these days for the money and also recognizing that these are just non-existent in the north east anymore I've decided to price the car at $9200 OBO.

I originally put a kijiji add up and I don't have time to deal with the responses, overwhelming. (DK was down when I came by)

I'd ideally like this to go someone who appreciates the time and effort I've put into this car and gathering all the parts etc. someone who can maybe finish the project that I couldn't make time for.

I setup a blog page with all the details neil85ae86.blogspot.com

Please no DIBs on parts, I don't even want to consider separating at this time.

nice car, I've been outta touch as well if the prices are that high now but it makes sense seeing how alot of them have been destroyed by tofu wannabe's

I hear Jehuty, I gave full disclosure on the state of the car but believe it or not the ask is lower than the offers I'm getting. Thing is, a decent starter car with maybe a couple good parts and not necessarily in driveable condition is pretty much a $4k-$5k USD car these days, so throw in the fact that it runs, actually runs pretty darn good and I'm sure with a little time logging and tuning in MS the detonation can be resolved (just put new plugs and fuel and vac line and it still does it, not as bad mind you so I know it's likely just a little timing pulled through the power band at 9+ psi).

Then combine the heaps of new bits, the spares, the rarity in this geographic location, it's not that unreasonable...

I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot, times change and the supply of these cars is running out.

Offers higher than the asking, but you still have it? That is crazy. The car is clean, but you can get a crazy done up or imported one for that price, so I am not sure what type of serious offers you would be getting. It is still a nice car, and if you are getting those offers, I hope it at least stays local so I have the chance to see it sometime.

The last mild import that I know of that came to the GTA, sold for $17k.

Some people don't want right hand drive.
Some people like 5 mph bumpers.
Some people don't want the headaches of chasing down parts when they run into something that's not compatible with the US models.
Japanese cars rust too and aren't immune to shoddy repairs...
